Let us love one another as God loves each one of us. And where does this love begin? In our own home. How does it begin? By praying together.
Mother TeresaThe trouble is that rich people, well-to-do people, very often don't really know who the poor are; and that is why we can forgive them, for knowledge can only lead to love, and love to service. And so, if they are not touched by them, it's because they do not know them
Mother TeresaThe openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.
Mother TeresaWe too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.
